If you had to pick just three lens

Depends on what type of water you're shooting in. I dive a lot in poor visibility waters so for macro i bought a Sigma 50 mm f/2.8 which enables you to focus really close to your subject. For wideangle i have the Nikkor 10.5 mm f/2.8 FE and for wideangle with worse visibility conditions i bought the Sigma 10-20 mm f/4.0-5.6.

Hi all,

 

Anyone here have recommendations for Olympus E-300?

 

Maybe I should have bought a Canon or Nikon, seems to be the preffered brands here on wetpixel! But alas, the money has been spent, lol

I'm an Oly shooter, I don't think you'll be disappointed. My choices would be:

 

8mm or 7-14mm for wide (I chose the 7-14 for the flexibility and because I prefer the rectilinear lens in more situations, particularly on land. Don't get me wrong, I *love* a fisheye, but I wouldn't put it on as often as I put on the 7-14)

 

50mm or 100mm macro (100 is not out yet but may be my choice, I prefer extreme macro).

 

Sigma 50-500 for topside. I'm surprised there weren't more topside lenses listed.

 

Hey, all you nikon guys that said 105, is that for digital, much longer film equivalent?

For my EOS 20D:

 

EF 15mm FE and EF-S 10-22mm for WA

EF-S 18-55mm for closeups

EF 100mm for macros

 

With my new 5D:

EF 15mm FE for WA

EF 16-35mm L for closeups

EF 100mm + TC1.4x for macros
